Mandrake Spade was once a boxer with promise—now he’s the Demon of Denim Street, breaking bones for a crime boss and writing a secret novel about the girl he lost. When Maggie Fairly returns to the Gables after thirty years, both carry truths that could shatter the other. Their reunion sparks old longing, buried guilt, and a dangerous chain of events that pulls them into the crossfire of men who want Mandrake dead. As violence closes in, love becomes the only thing left worth fighting for—and the one thing that might save them from the darkness they’ve lived in too long.
